The staging is done by the git command git add. A staged change needs to be committed to create a commit out of it. So after you run git add, you will need to run git commit to create the commit.
Or, for changes to an existing file, you can just do "git commit -a"; to quote the result of "git help commit":
-a, --all
Tell the command to automatically stage files that have been
modified and deleted, but new files you have not told Git about are
not affected.
For a *new* file to be *added* to the repository, you either have to "git add" it.
